Stillwell suite hanger

ABSTRACT

The basic idea behind the Stillwell Suit Hanger is to make hanging a suit of clothes (pants or skirt and matching jacket) more efficient than the way they exist with an ordinary hanger. This is accomplished by making a double decker hanger that allows the pants (skirt) to hang above the jacket rather than beneath it, thus eliminating the need to dig around inside the body of the jacket to get the pants (skirt) off of the hanger when getting dressed or back on the hanger when getting undressed.

This application is not related to any other patent application.

The subject of this patent application has not been funded in any way bythe government of the United States of America.

This application is not part of any joint research agreement. There isno computer data involved in this application, hence there is no“sequencing list” included. This invention is designed to make thestorage and use of a “suit” of clothes (pants or ladies' skirt, withmatching jacket, designed to be worn and stored together) moreefficient.

Using a conventional hanger to hang both the pants (skirt for a ladies'suit) and the matching jacket together, on the same hanger, leaves thetwo articles of clothing hung in the reverse order from which they willbe used (put on), and in the reverse order from which they will bestored (hung up) when taken off. The subject of this patent application(the Stillwell Suit Hanger) reverses the order in which the two articlesof clothing are hung up. In doing so the articles of clothing are hungup in the order in which they will be put on (when dressing) and in theorder in which they will be hung up again (when undressing).

The Stillwell Suit Hanger has taken the basic hanger design (hook,vertical connector, with sloping or curved arm below) and added a slotor loop in between the hook and the curved arm. The pants (skirt for aladies' suit) is then hung through the slot or loop with the jacket hungfrom a curved arm below the slot or loop. The hanger may be made out ofa variety of materials (plastic or wood most commonly), and may be ofvarying size. The dimensions of the material (plastic or wood mostgenerally) may also vary. However, the central design elements (hook,vertical connecter, slot or loop, vertical connector, and curved arm)will remain constant and in the same order.

There are two drawings with this application. The first (FIG. 1) is adrawing of the hanger by itself. The second (FIG. 2) shows how thehanger might look with a suit (pants and jacket) actually hanging fromit.

The Stillwell Suit Hanger takes the basic clothing hanger design andadds a slot or loop for the pants (skirt for a ladies' suit) to hang onso that the pants (skirt) hangs above the jacket, rather than below it.Simply there is a hook at the very top to hold the hanger to the clothesrod, this is connected by a vertical connector to the slot or loop forthe pants (skirt), which is then connected (from the bottom of the slotor loop), with another vertical connector, to a curved arm, used to hangthe jacket. This places the two pieces of clothing (pants or skirt, andjacket) in the same order in which they will be used, when gettingdressed and in the order in which they will be hung up again whengetting undressed. This eliminates the need to dig around inside thebody of the jacket to get the pants (skirt) off the hanger when gettingdressed, and the need to dig around inside the body of the jacket tohang up the pants (skirt) when getting undressed.

Hanging the two pieces of clothing in this way will save time andfrustration (all important to busy executives and other personnel who'sjobs require them to wear a suit).

1. This patent application is for a clothing hanger which is moreefficient for hanging a suit of clothes (jacket and matching pants orjacket and matching skirt, if a women's suit) than clothing hangerscurrently in use. It is more efficient for this purpose because it hangsthe articles of clothing in the order in which they will be used (puton) and puts them away (hangs them up) in the order in which they aretaken off
